MFC Fans Only Non-Demons AFL Discussion – 2024: This year stinks

[Proper Gander]

Music is dreadful

 

[PerfectFooty]

What in the weird, bad computer generated graphics hell is this?

I don't remember the MCG being able to do that when i left. Stadium of the future

 

[Dancing Potato]

How long was poor Tina Arena sitting in there for?

 

[PerfectFooty]

I'm not either disappointed or impressed tbh. She's okay, but just that

However it's never not amusing that Katy Perry actually can't hit the notes in 'roar' and never could

The one thing i did think was a well done was the MCG light towers doing the letters of her name. I didn't think them older towers would do anything like that

 

[PerfectFooty]

I know for our game we had a long two week wait, but then to wait for twilight perth time was killing me. There's only so much you can say about "it's a big game"

Oh yeah and the don't forget the shitty smoke that hung around for a few minutes early in the third term after the half time show. Looks real good on TV you media folks asking for night grand finals

 

[Scythe94]

Go Jordan Bon Jonesy

 

[Jamurp]

Dual premiership player for two clubs James Jordon, nice ring to it.

 

[Dory_77]

Rough flashbacks for Saints fans

 

[PerfectFooty]

I've liked Bruce hanging around these last few matches

 

[PerfectFooty]

Plugger Cameos seem to happening a bit more these days

 

[Duke of Windso]

Old-fashioned but I really couldn't care less about pre-game entertainment, in fact I'd almost prefer if it didn't exist at all. Very annoying when media people argue for moving the start time on the basis that "the entertainment would be better".

Does anyone remember the half time or pre-game performances from 20-21. I do not even remember half of anything from 21

 

[Scythe94]

Yeah, now I'm feeling more strongly. Carn Bloods

 

[Daemon]

Man that lost ball AAMI promo was so cringey

 

[PerfectFooty]

Do they fly the jet over anymore? They should bring that back

 

[MarcMaverick]

They should. Spidercam has taken over, though.

 

[MarcMaverick]

Whats interesting, at least to me, is that almost immediately after the GF is that the groundskeepers and curators get to work for the cricket season.

Neither, 21 was like a medley of Aussie bands but I don't remember any specifics.

Unless it's a Meatloaf level disaster it's barely remembered. The Killers were good, but probably remembered more for Riedwoldt singing with them afterwards than any pre-game stuff.

You're telling me you don't remember checks Wikipedia Abbe May performed "Thunderstruck", Baker Boy performed a cover of "Can't Get You Out of My Head" and "Meditjin", John Butler performed "Ocean" before being joined by Stella Donnelly, Vicki Thorn, Donna Simpson, Gina Williams and Guy Ghouse for a cover of Icehouse's "Great Southern Land". Eskimo Joe performed "Black Fingernails, Red Wine" and then a cover of "Kick" by INXS. Colin Hay performed a version of "Down Under" via video from the USA.[17]?

It's been happening since 1977, and they've been getting big name acts for it since 1998.

How old-fashioned are we talking?

 

[jhong]

Very charitable calling that a mark .

 

[Duke of Windso]

How old-fashioned are we talking?

I was born in 1995, practically in the grave already.

 

[Dancing Potato]

Jordon off to a good start

 

[Duke of Windso]

"That Cameron shot looks like it's missing to the right, but the crowd behind are up so it must be a goal...no, cheer squad people are just stupid"

 

[Dancing Potato]

Crap start, but now suddenly the game has become exciting.
